Pyre leveled up quite a bit in Act 5 in preparation for hell. Not much in the way of drops, just this decent orb. Most of the equipped items have not changed since entering nightmare.
Killed Baal at level 70 and will advance to hell. Pyre hasn't had any close calls but that may all change... stay tuned.

Sorry to hear about Snirn, broxi. I have lost another cultist as well. AnnGore was taken down by Diablo due to being too tired & not paying attention. I'm not even sure what did her in, other than low resists still. It looks like I'll be taking over the Legacy section, but I'm not giving up just yet though.

Hopefully I can resist the urge to use Burst of Speed so often & stick with Fade instead. It looks like resists seems to be the cause of most of my deaths.
@Mezion - Does the Pyromania Talent allow just "+fire resist" charms specifically, or do charms with "+all resist" fit the criteria as well?
@NanoMist - Great job reaching Hell!

Ugh. Sabine was just killed in the Arcane Sanctuary by a champion Hell Clan. She was moving like a hot knife through butter with Blizzard and a high level fireball + "leaf" at her disposal. I guess I just got overconfident with her awesome kill speed and forgot that I am playing with a Rogue merc that doesn't tank nearly as well as a desert merc. Oh well, Arius and Vrauzhul are still around to carry on the legacy of Chimaera.
An attempt to update the code:

Before I venture further into Hell, are we allowing save & exit to avoid death? Didn't see this forbidden in the rules as this is replay allowed. Just had an NDE with some extra fast lancers but mind blast saved me this time. Now I have the esc trigger finger. A bit early but is resetting ancients allowed too?
@broxi_111RIP and welcome back.
@mwille I would be specifically the ones with "+% fire resist".
@NanoMist Sure you can avoid death if you want, and you can reset the ancients.
Can't wait to have a break and play some D2...

As is typical with Act 4, things started to slow down a little bit. Geras' pack is still quite strong and durable though, so it's quite safe, and Annor has picked up the slack in the killing department. Geras' cth is now ranging from 78% on flesh spawners, to 55% on Venom Lords. so he's becoming a bit more inconsistent than I'd like. I'm still not ready to switch away from Oak sage just yet due to my all near-zero (or actually zero) resists, or at least not until the killing gets slow enough to be irritating.
Speaking of resists, we had to tread very lightly in the Plains of Despair as we were sporting only 5% LR. He took the 'Charms Expert' talent in the hopes that his charms could provide him the resists he would be lacking from his normal gear, but they just havent turned up yet. Izual greeted us right by the stairs to the City of the Damned, which was quite convenient of him. He took a full five minutes of fighting, but as usual it was just a matter of holding down the trigger-finger and throwing an occasional raven/vine recast at him. We hit 31 right as we found the stairs down to the RoF, which allowed us to finally equip our belt we crafted back in A3 and dispose of our trusty white sash.
Before long we had found the path to the Hellforge, which was guarded by a Holy-Freeze Hephasto.
.
Didn't matter though, as Annor and Geras both stood out of his aura's range and filled him with holes while the wolves kept him busy. Hf gifted us a Ral for our troubles. The CS was quite tough for our group, OKs really did a number on the summons with all of their cursing and elemental damage. Thi marked the first point in the journey that we had to re-cast wolves fairly regularly, and it made for some pretty slow going.
Vizier and his pack were simple and harmless, as was De Seis(surprisingly). The Infector was a bit worse, and managed to kill off a whole pile of wolves, but he went down pretty easily overall. In preparation for the Diablo fight we knew we had to do something about our resists as 23/5 FR/LR just wouldn't cut it. First off we bought Geras some Amber boots (enabled by Pride), and made him a nice shiny shield (also thanks to Pride) which bumped him up to 75/74 FR/LR. Much better!
With his new gear and his trusty teleport staff in his inventory in case of prisons, he hit the last seal and confronted the Lord of Terror. Turns out his fears were pretty much unfounded as they quickly eastablished a good position (well, good for Annor and Geras anyway!) and began the fight.
.
Diablo kept his focus on the wolves (which needed recasting after every hose or inferno), and eventually the group killed him without too much trouble. Another useless drop, but he will keep his new boots and shield that he made ready in the stash in case of some more dangerous situations ahead. Harrogath, here we come!

When I was still deciding on what to play, I thought being able to use any item with charges was a great strength of Malstrom cultists. I don't know if you'll be rerunning areas, but if you are, I can think of two nice items that can be reliably obtained in nightmare. But I'll be quiet now and let you get there first.
Speaking of rerunning areas, hell LK is a nice option, especially with no rerunning of act bosses. I just need to get through the jungles first...

This looks like a great tournament to join. Hopefully I'll have some time tonight to play definitely this weekend. I don't think anyone has chosen this god so I'll try.
Cultist: Barbarian "ManOfSteel"
God: Fractured One
Talents: Bloodbond, Boon, Minds Eye, Specialist.
1 question about the specialist talent, I understand it means I can use items with +skill tree. But does that encompass +All skills also? Like using Lore runeword?

Pyre, Cultist of Thoth (Blade Fury & Fire Traps Assassin)
Talents: Pyromania, Boon, Mind's Eye
Before leaving the Rogue Encampment, Pyre upgraded her claw for a slight damage boost. The damage is still low but the fools mod does so much for the chance to hit. Andariel went down quickly from mass WoF. Only a 3 TP drop from Duriel this time. Somewhere in the jungle a Blackhorn's dropped! Slow target, prevent monster heal, and lightning absorb replaces the IthRalOrt crown.
In the first exploration of LK this drops:
On P1 no less. Continuing on, Travincal proved to be challenging with the fire immune council members but thankfully there was no PI. Nice Durance 2 location for the teleport staff. Mephisto down!
Rolled a new LK map. Didn't run much though as an NDE had me a little scared. In that short time, Pyre was able to find Mal and rack a Tal's belt. If a 5 os phase blade drops or is cubed, future cultists will have access to Grief provided that the "Otherworldly Pallet" talent is unlocked. The possibilities...

Congrats on the progress everyone 
One quick question - I started a necromancer (cultist of Requiem) and my current weapon is a wand. If I drop any magic / rare / unique wand, can I use it? Or does it nescesarily need to spawn any of these atributes?

Wicular and his party are approaching the True Tomb. Progress has gone pretty smoothly thus far and here are a couple of crafted items that have helped out with the resists. Now that the Insight Bill is in full swing there is no further Mana concerns and Wicular can focus heavily on exploding everything.

Here is a wonderful gambled circlet for Leharas to wear to aid with his resists.
